Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup
They slither while they pass
They slip away across the universe
Pools of sorrow, waves of joy
Are drifting through my open mind
Possessing and caressing me
*Jai guru deva om(註)
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Images of broken light
Which dance before me like a million eyes
That call me on and on across the universe
Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letter box
They tumble blindly
As they make their way across the universe (*)
Sounds of laughter, shades of earth
Are ringing through my open views
Inciting and inviting me
Limitless undying love
Which shines around me like a million suns
It calls me on and on across the universe
披頭四(The Beatles)或許不可能再重組了,不過他們的音樂不但在地球上全世界各角落繼續流傳,現在甚至還流傳到了外太空去。
根據美聯社報導,美國太空總署NASA星期一(二月四日)朝著北極星在外太空裡放送披頭四的名曲《Across the Universe》,這是美國太空總署第一次在太陽系以外的外太空放送“地球人”的歌曲,此舉同時也是慶祝《Across the Universe》發行四十週年以及美國太空總署成立五十週年的活動之一。
據報導,當披頭四成員之一的保羅麥卡尼(Paul McCartney)獲知《Across the Universe》被選為美國太空總署首度對外太空廣播的歌曲時,他的回應是:「幫我向外星人們致意啊!」 MTVChinese.com編譯
